Oooooooh. I love that there’s Who figure sets I had no clue even existed. Now the crime there is that it doesn’t come with Romana too.

My sideshow Jack Burton arrived yesterday. The box was pretty cool. Jack's face is a little... off. It's a good likeness, it's just better from certain angles than others. Dead on maybe his eyes are a bit closer than they should be?

Anyways I put him in my display and I was amused how much bigger he is than I expected compared to my other 6th scale dollies. Jack is bigger than Iron Man apparently.

Varients of Jo, The Brig, Leela, Peri, and Ace are the only companions that the line's done. Rather disappointed in that.

Was out to dinner about 3 minutes from our local Toys R Us, so we swung by on the way home. Does anyone remember me saying several months ago that they had three figures of Shannon Doherty's character from Mallrats? Well now they had one, which means two of them actually sold. But what of popular stuff like Marvel Legends characters? Well friends, they had an entire wall full!

My store (which today was my last day) has a wall of Starlord from the Titus wave along with a wall of Jyn from Rogue One.

Also we had about 100 Becky dolls from the WWE line that just haven't sold in months.

Did the other ones sell and nobody likes Becky, or did you just get a lot of Beckys?

I'm not familiar with WWE but I did see a wall of some blonde WWE figure that was slightly smaller than the wall of Havoks.

Back when I was doing custom figures more often, a wall like that would be really exciting cause it meant plentiful cheap custom fodder. But now my house is full of figures waiting to be customized and I never do it, so I look at that and sigh...

I was so disappointed Madrox will be in his '90s X-Factor costume and not his '00s costume -- the green shirt with the six interconnected circles. If they made that version, I would definitely buy a few. Peter David made him one of my favorite characters in that mid-'00s X-Factor run.

Madrox's 90s costume gives me hope that we'll eventually get a 90s X-Force team. All we need at this point is Wolfsbane and Strong Guy, and Strong Guy is a bit of a "duh" BAF at this point.

There’s no such thing as a bad Predator design. :colbert:

Tangentially related, I love that Predators look like individuals with their own styles, I think it really gives them a lot of flavor and hammers home the notion that their race isn’t homogeneous (you know, like humans). Seeing fanboy nerds trip over themselves to “reconcile” differences in Predator behavior and appearance (as if every member of the race has to be the same, like in Star Wars or Star Trek) has always made me giggle. Imagine if alien races took the same approach when studying humans - we’d constantly confuse the everloving gently caress out of them.

That Predator looks like he spent much of his youth playing Halo and watching any modern super hero film and just loved the armor from them.

What about the predator with tentacles coming out of his face? I literally just woke up from a dream that involved Predator toys. The 90's style ones.

Did you watch the trailer yet? This one's even more of a fuckin' chump than the ones in AvP or Predators. OG Pred would be spinning in his grave if he hadn't completely atomised himself.

I enjoyed it, but mostly because of the employees and how little poo poo we gave at times at work. Could get away just talking to a co-worker about what games we play for a hour because things were slow. Not going to miss the customers who were the rudest and dumbest fucks I ever seen.
